CoLUMBUs, Miss, January 24.-Yes-
terday evening, between 4 and 6
o'el ck, the safe of the postoffice at
this place was robbed OF about $500 in
money and several registered packages,
value unknown, except one belonging
to Morgau, Robertson & Co, contain
ing $50. No description Of the money
ia known. Nine hundred dollars in
stamps was unmolesed The safe was
found open, and the superstition is
that the combination had not been
turned of when it WAS closed, and it
being Sunday no one was in the eff %
at that hour, as the last mail
goes out at $3.50 O'Clock p.m.
and no one is required to be there
until 8 o'clock pm, when the even
ing mail arrives. The back door of
the building was found unlocked and
tracks leading to the fence and around
another building to the street, show
log how the thief made his exit. A
man was seen coming from ground
the building about dark. No lurther
clew has been found.

The general trade Of the country
last week was sufficiently sctive TO
support advances in several lines Of
merchandise, and the activity Of the
railroads is proof that a fatiifactory
amount Of trade is doing. In the
South thera is good deal of excite.
msnt, and in several districts ooms"
are arousing very general attention.
Mines are opening, furnaces building,
and compariss forming with all sorts
Of objects. Among the many OPEN
ings for capital now offering all can.
not be OF equal merit, and cool judg-
ment aud careful investigation were
never more required to prevent mis-
takes that will entail future regret
The great event OF the week has been
What is called "the Richmond Ter
minal DEAL" by which over
1000 miles of Southern rail-
roads have been consolidated. The
effect Of this for good or evil upon
Southern interests cannot bat be very
great. The tendency OF money in New
York hiss been toward lower rates,
With a liberal supply, as the flow is
nos from the interior towards New
York, aud probably will for some time
80 continue. Agitation from European
war movements has decreased during
the week, and now the Interstate rail-
way bill has been passed in Congress
another disturbing element has been
removed. Foreign exchange is quiet,
and here has been no movement in
gold to excite special attention. The
New York Chronicle says close obser-
vaton shows that there is some little
abatement in the buoyancy OF trade
operations, and that although bust
ness continues prosperous, there are
Vatious signs which indicate that
there is little less doing than we have
been accustomed to Of late. Still the
increased earnings OF the railroads is
a very favorable Indication. A week
ago silver was quoted at AZ l-l6i per
ounce in London; since then it has
decliGed to AID, making the silver in
our dollar worth 1887 cents. The
total clearing, OF the week in the thirty
cities reporting showed an increase OF
i5 per cent. over the corresponding
week last January; leaving out New
York the total increase was 1872 per
cent. In consequence OF comparative
quiet on Wall street, New York was
6,4 per cent. below the corresponding
week last year. Boston was behind
3 per cent. and Hartford 81 per cent.
These three cities were the only ones
that failed to show an increase on
the *. Memphis increased 1917
per cent, indianapolis, 1861 per
cent; other increases included three
cities increased between 20 and 30 per
cent, five between 80 and 40 per cent,
one between 40 and 80 and two be-
tween so and 80 PSF cent. AS the long
depression was gradually passing
away this time last year, the show
made by the cleaIings Ia very favor
able.

woman's Missionary Work.

The degraded condition of the wO-
men in the Orient is appalling. In In
dia it is estimated that there are I00,-
600, 900 women and girls, one-third un-
able to read or write, one sixth wild
Ows, and $1,000 of these widows under
ten years of age. The miserable life Il
woman lives there is almost incOn-
ceivable. Her position is inferior to
the horse or COW. She is treated as a
sOulless chattel. Her birth is a source
of sorrow her childhood is devoid OF
joy her marriage is forced at an early
age; as wife she is subject to open
abuse from her husband her sons are
taught to despise her as mother; and
when widOwhOOd overtakes her, her
illtreatment is still increased. Her
sad eyes never brighten and her lot is
forever devoid of rest or comfort. Sc
Guided in the Zenana, it is impossible
for her to be reached and influenced
by men missionaries. Christian ladies
are the only ones who can carry the
glad news of the gospel of JOY into the
cherries houses where these unfOrtu-
nate women drag out II miserable ex-
istence.
Many Christian ladies are willing to
devote their lives to thus helping the
down trOdden in their own channels,
it is called zenana work. Its growth
is marvellous. The wOman's mission
airy societies are doing great things in
this way. 1t is one of the most impOr-
tant missionary departments. 1t brings
joy and rest and happiness to woman
who know not What life really is. Two
hundred and fifty million women in
heatienism depend for the gospel upon
Christian women of America.

A report from Fort Myers, Fla,
where Mr.. Edison is sojOurning, says
he is working on his sea telephone.
Already he can transmit sound between
two vessels from three to four miles
distant from each other, and is conf
dent that he will be able to increase
the distance between his stations as the
apparatus becomes more perfect. Up
to the present time Mr.. Edison has not
succeeded in transmitting articnlate
speech through his sea telephone, nor
is this essential to the success of the
system. By means of submarine ex-
plosions he is enabled to form a Sc
ries of short and long sounds in Sc
quence, and by these, as i'm the
Morse system of telegraphy, words and
sentences can readily be transmitted.

Wide Awake is, in Miss Phelps
phrase, "a brave girl" and does her
best to put down fear in herself and

calendar which girls need so much AS
courage. If boy is afraid of any

sheltered and caressed when she shows
some silly little alarm or other. And
in consequence of this timid mind
growing up without help and disci

to himself, of profit and II saving of a

that is attached to the register, but"
Bringing the belly, "here, James, step
over to Crandall's and get this gentle

is finally seated ut the table in the

boriously, with poor ink and pen
catching ut every up stroke in the
worn out paper, ultimately succeeds
in writing just half of what he ought
to say and finally walks three blocks
in the drizzling rain and foot of snow
to the post Office to be certain that the
important missive is properly mailed
and in time for the next mail.

And kindly tears, though they fall thick and fast
The words of praise alas can naught avail
To lift the shadows from a life that's past.
And rarest blossoms, what can they suffice.

Upon their beautyi Flow'rs in collins laid
